00:00:00.000 Heavens above, the inside of Justin Trudeau's head must be a terrible place to live right now. 0.67
00:00:07.360 Imagine seeing racists and misogynists in every shadow.
00:00:11.260 Imagine trying to govern a country of people with unacceptable opinions
00:00:15.240 and having such beautiful thoughts and exquisite sensibilities as he undoubtedly does.
00:00:22.100 Imagine forever hearing whistles that only dogs are supposed to hear.
00:00:27.520 All this, and Pierre Polyerve has been Conservative leader for just four days.
00:00:34.900 Uneasy rests the head that bears the crown indeed.
00:00:38.580 What's going on here is obvious.
00:00:40.760 What the Prime Minister calls dog whistles when it's Polyerve he's talking about
00:00:45.260 are recognized by everybody as mere virtue signaling when he summons his own familiars.
00:00:52.300 Same thing.
00:00:52.980 And with his whinging attacks on Polyerve, Justin Trudeau is trying to define Polyerve
00:00:58.840 before Polyerve gets a chance to define himself.
00:01:03.480 Of course, it's what politicians do. 0.94
00:01:08.120 Trudeau's only problem is that for his almost seven years as Prime Minister,
00:01:13.420 he has already by his deeds defined himself as everything that Polyerve is not. 0.99
00:01:19.200 That is, a complete and total hypocrite, a phony, someone who represents himself as morally superior 0.99
00:01:26.460 but acts without second thought or scruple. 1.00
00:01:30.080 People trust Polyerve to be who he says he is.
00:01:33.340 Not everybody likes him, that's how it is.
00:01:35.680 But in the 18 years since he was first elected to Parliament, he has not surprised us.
00:01:40.780 Not so, Mr. Trudeau.
00:01:44.160 Unlike Polyerve, he surprises us almost daily.
00:01:48.100 At different times, the Prime Minister has proclaimed himself to be a feminist,
00:01:53.040 a champion of diversity who took a knee for Black Lives Matter,
00:01:57.140 someone who loves the law with religious intensity,
00:02:00.180 a friend to indigenous people,
00:02:01.860 and a social justice crusader so dedicated to reconciliation
00:02:05.880 that he apologizes for things he never did,
00:02:09.380 nor anybody else did in his lifetime.
00:02:11.840 A climate change crusader who was a wokester before woke was cool.
00:02:17.420 However, talk about his feminism to the women who left his caucus in disgust.
00:02:22.320 Try and square his blackface episodes with anything he ever said
00:02:26.180 about equity, diversity and inclusion.
00:02:28.340 What do you say to somebody who wants to shut down your oil sands,
00:02:32.780 turn down your thermostat and ride a bike?
00:02:35.400 But in August, put 120 tons of carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere
00:02:39.980 by flying a government jet, the equivalent of two-thirds of the way around the world.
00:02:45.580 And for what?
00:02:46.640 Photo ops and fun.
00:02:48.660 The average car emits about four and a half tons of carbon dioxide a year.
00:02:53.580 So let's see.
00:02:54.120 The Prime Minister just burned through my carbon dioxide emissions
00:02:58.040 for 25 years in less than a month?
00:03:00.820 I don't want to hear any more about cutting carbon emissions from Justin Trudeau.
00:03:06.060 Here at the Western Standard, we're fair.
00:03:08.180 So we'll also be watching for Pierre Poilier to stay on his freedom and prosperity message.
00:03:13.320 And when and if he gets the chance to act on it.
00:03:16.960 Of course, when it comes to policy,
00:03:18.780 we recognize that no matter how hard you try,
00:03:21.360 sometimes you walk into a wall.
00:03:22.800 That's disappointing, but that is not hypocrisy.
00:03:26.820 What is hypocrisy is when you say you're wonderful and act like,
00:03:30.840 well, like the Prime Minister.
00:03:33.720 For the Western Standard, I'm Nigel Hannaford.
